Mumbai:
After three back-to-back hits, SalmanKhan is at the peak of his career in Bollywood but the actorsays it is a dangerous place to be in as one does not knowwhat to do next.
"I am happy that my films are doing well. But it is avery dangerous position to be in, as we don't know what to doin the next film. I don't know what to do right now," Salmansaid in an interview.
"If there is a larger than life character in filmsthat I do, then it looks like no one can kill him which willget boring. If you take a film to a larger level then itis like too much is happening, if you don't take it to thatlevel then it feels like first was better. You don't know whatto do," the actor said.
After three consecutive Eid blockbusters - Wanted,Dabangg and Bodyguard, the 46-year-old actor is now readywith yet another promising film Ek Tha Tiger.

If there is any pressure of delivering another hit atthe box office, Salman is not showing any signs of it.
"I don't feel the pressure...if it does not do wellthen it does not. We will see it in next film. If a film isgood it will do well. If it is a bad film, it will bomb at boxoffice. I believe audience is always right," he said.
Talking about the trend of the Rs 100 crore bracket, theactor said, "The Rs 100 crore club is just a PR workshop. Theperson who has come to watch a good film, if he likes it hewill come again either with family or friends.
"The number of times he watches the film is good forall of us, for the movie as a whole, the producers, theatre,exhibitors and artists," he added.
The actor credits his success in films to luck."I think I have been lucky to have got good films. It isthe passion that keeps me going. I like my job and it hasturned into my hobby and I enjoy doing it," he said.
